Chapter 416 The decisive battle is coming

When he saw Peterson and this group of young people from Saka, Yang Ming swallowed back the words he had prepared.

In fact, there is no need to say anything.

Since they choose to stand up, they have to bear the risks and costs of being heroes.

Peterson's eyes became calm and heavy, his young face showed a sense of vicissitudes of life, and his expression remained as calm as possible.

"well done."

Yang Ming patted Peterson's arm and sighed slowly:

"You can do it. I will use my connections to arrange you in the rear area. You will find a hard job to fight the insects."

"Sorry, Lord Lord, I know these ships are worth a lot of money..."

"Why are ships so valuable? Aren't they all man-made?"

Yang Ming interrupted Peterson's words and whispered:

"A general must not only learn how to let soldiers die, but also how to keep soldiers alive and how to give their deaths a heroic meaning.

"This is to fight against natural disasters. Pensions for soldiers killed in battle will be tripled according to the standard we set, allowing Governor Godoy to take good care of their families.

"The loss rate is 60%...can you fight this battle like this?"

Peterson lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Okay, don't put any pressure on yourself. You were at the front and I saw it.

"Carrying their share and continuing to fight is the best consolation for the fallen soldiers, remember?"

"Yeah," Peterson said with an ugly smile, "I understand."

Yang Ming clicked his tongue, glanced at these young people, and frowned: "Let's all go back to work. Bosu and I will rest on this ship for a while, and form a battle formation to harvest as many bugs as possible. The two of us can survive the bugs

Absorb nutrients from your body.”

"yes!"

This group of soldiers from Saka planet saluted at the same time and quickly returned to their respective posts.

They obviously have an aura about them that they didn't have before.

But whenever Yang Ming thought that these soldiers were his personal followers, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

There were only 10 million indigenous people left on Saka Planet;

These young people who joined his personal guard had suffered a lot when they were young. They had suffered from the economic recession and the plague of insects. Now their lives are better with great difficulty, and they have lost their lives here in the starry sky.

Of course, soldiers in other armies are also soldiers, and the two are of equal value. Although Yang Ming is a bit protective, he does not feel that his soldiers are more valuable than other soldiers.

But he just felt a little depressed.

'My situation may only be this big.'

Yang Ming did some chest enlargement exercises and asked Po Sao to rest in the corner of the cabin.

There is still a fierce battle ahead, and they must adjust their condition as soon as possible.

The Great Queen also has a 'war song' that lures the ancient god's life form, but she has to guard against this thing.

…

This is war.

Revell moved a chair and sat in front of the porthole, staring at the bodies of more than a dozen ships being dragged back into the starry sky.

It was a ship that was attacked by insects and did not have time to detonate itself.

He could vaguely see the corpses piled up into a hill, which swelled into a somewhat terrifying appearance in the cold universe. They were densely packed, with hundreds to thousands of people on each ship.

Revell suddenly felt that the use of various semi-automatic machines and restrained artificial intelligence was indeed a very good thing.

Otherwise, a thousand-meter warship would require thousands of soldiers and technicians to operate and maintain it. In such a war, the casualties would be several times greater.

In less than half an hour, 293,000 soldiers died.

Revell couldn't imagine how tragic the situation would be on a battlefield where there was constant fighting and even a 'Main Insect Tide' broke out.

This is the second disaster.

Insects do not have human emotions. They should not feel what grief is. They are more like indifferent biological machines, accurately executing the instructions given by the mother worm, in order to advance the mother worm, ascend the dimension, and plunder the starry sky.

everything of.

But humans can't.

Revell couldn't say a word for a long time.

At this moment, he went to read the official frontline battle report, and what he saw was no longer the cold words. What he saw were the mountains of piled corpses, the horrific-looking corpses, and the nearly endless swarm of insects.

.

"Your Excellency," the staff officer walked over quickly and said seriously, "the military department has issued a commendation order to you. Your outstanding performance in this battle has won positive comments from many generals."

Revell frowned and glanced at the staff officer.

He is somewhat disgusted with these officialdom styles.

"I didn't do anything," Revell said calmly. "The orders were all issued by the Imperial Guard system. I just stood up to cheer everyone up, and then I ended my mission."

The staff officer said slowly: "The Imperial Guard system is always only an auxiliary system."

"I didn't do anything!"

Revell suddenly stood up.

The chair was being thrown back, and Revell grabbed the staff officer's collar and glared at the staff officer:

"We didn't do anything! That's what the empire's generals and officers do, right? We didn't give a single meaningful order! We watched helplessly as the Imperial Guard system let so many humans die!

"We didn't even try to save lives!

"Answer me! Are all the empire's generals such trash? They all just hide behind the Imperial Guard system!"

"Count Revell," the staff officer frowned slightly, with a helpless smile on his lips, "You are under too much pressure. Relax. Everyone is afraid of insects. All we have to do is face our fears."

“Fuck fear!”

Revell growled, pushed the staff officer away, took two steps back, squeezed his eyes hard, and his voice was trembling.

"Sorry...sorry, I have some..."

"This is normal. Taking a deep breath can make you feel better."

The staff officer said warmly:

"You also performed very well in the previous insect disasters when the new federal insect burial plan was detonated, but there are many differences between these two insect disasters.

"During the last insect plague, our biggest trouble was that dozens of insect swarms were simultaneously activated by the New Federation. We could only temporarily use conventional troops and were unable to activate the true power of the empire.

"The swarm of insects we faced that time were all insects that had a short development time and were barely at the fourth level.

"Now, it is the insect swarm on the edge of the galaxy that is carrying out an extermination attack on human civilization. More than a dozen small political bodies have failed to fight against the insect plague and have disappeared permanently from the galaxy. The empire has only managed to suppress the insect swarm by relying on its own heritage.

Resist.

"This will inevitably require huge sacrifices... In fact, we have modified the figures released to the public to avoid causing public panic..."

Revell covered his head with his hands, leaned his back against the porthole, and slowly sat on the ground: "What can we do?"

"We are all small, just cogs on this battlefield," the staff officer said warmly. "Even Major General Hanton, our hero, is just a bigger cog. If you want to resist the insect tide, you must rely on enough."

soldiers, enough ships, enough firepower, and efficient control of all firepower points."

"My idol is nearby, right?"

"He is already maneuvering towards the frontal battlefield," the staff officer said. "About five minutes ago, he arrived at the Saka Star escort fleet. While harvesting scattered bugs, he moved towards the main battlefield. We also got some interesting orders.

."

Revell's mood relaxed a lot and asked softly: "What order?"

"Drive these bugs that have lost their command center and brains toward the ship where Hanton is located, and kill the bugs near him and the Valkyrie to recharge the modified bodies of the two ancient gods."

Two question marks appeared on Revell's forehead.

"That's it," the staff officer shrugged. "This is a force we can't understand."

"Did I lose my temper just now?" Revell grinned, "I suddenly thought that my idol, he has been fighting against life forms like insects from the very beginning..."

The staff officer smiled and said: "The first time I faced a battle with high casualties, my mood broke even more. You are already outstanding among young people."

"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person," Revell shook his head and took out his own network access terminal, "If you have any problems later, just let the Imperial Guard system connect to it, and I'll go get some gifts for my idol.

"
